Dear reader

Be it naphthalene-smelling, dog-eared leaves or crisp pages that have never been turned – a book is best held in hand and read non-digitally (yes, we, the dotcom company, said that) in a comfortable couch with a tea in hand. We’re old fashioned like, and it’s got no connection to the fact that we sell couches and tea cups and book shelves and book cases and book ends and some books too! Oh, in case you’re wondering, it’s Book Lover’s Day today, so we thought to ourselves, is there a better way of celebrating the day than with a reading list?

They say you can tell a lot about a person by the book he/she reads. But then if you read a person by the book, do you judge a book by its cover as well? While we get entangled in the proverbial labyrinth of words, do untangle us by sharing how you intend to celebrate the day – with a book, we hope? Tell us what’s on your reading list?
